natbib option "sort&compress". You can enter it into Document->Extra Options.

You don't have LyX's natbib support enabled? (Document->Extras->use natbib in
xforms or Document->Biliography->use natbib in qt). Then you can chose natbib
styles in the citation dialog.

you can use this hack:
% EVIL
\renewcommand{\cite}{\citep}%
unfortunately, the citation style choice of the citation dialog does not
remember its last position.
